Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 236 No One Knows Emperor Shihuang Better Than Me

After the morning court, Ying Zheng returned to the study.

Looking at the mountain of memorials, he suddenly remembered what Zhao Kun said, and couldn't help frowning.

Zhao Gao, who was good at observing words and expressions, immediately caught Ying Zheng's mood, and quickly asked: "Your Majesty is tired? This old slave is going to get you a bowl of tofu brain!"

The fact that Emperor Shi Huang liked to eat tofu nao naturally spread to Zhao Gao's ears.

As the favorite official of the first emperor, he also spared no effort to send people to learn how to make tofu.

Fortunately, this method came from Qiankou Village, and there are people selling tofu in Pinyang City, so it is not difficult to learn.

Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Ying Zheng suddenly smiled, and immediately waved his hands: "Go, get some soy milk and fried dough sticks."

"Old slave understands." Zhao Gao answered with a smile.

No need to think about it, this soy milk fritters must have been cooked by Zhao Kun again.

Discussing His Majesty's favor, in the Great Qin Empire, I am afraid that only Zhao Kun can argue with him.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Gao turned around and was about to leave the study.

At this time, Ying Zheng suddenly remembered something, and added: "Make more servings for two, and call Feng Quji and Li Si together!"

"promise."

Zhao Gao bowed his body and retreated as promised.

After a while, all three of them came to the study.

"Chen, Feng Quji, Li Si, pay respects to Your Majesty—"

Ying Zheng waved his hand: "Okay, Aiqing, you don't need to be too polite, take your seat quickly, I have something to explain, you listen, if it is feasible, give me your opinion."

Feng Quji and Li Si heard the words, looked at each other, and then sat down according to the words.

"Although the military disaster in Longxi has receded, there are countless refugees, and now they are flooding into Guanzhong, so we must deal with them as soon as possible."

"The regulation of the Weihe River system is related to the important event of spring plowing, and it cannot be sloppy."

Ying Zheng first asked the question ably, and then waited for the courtiers to express their opinions.

This is his consistent style, and Li Si and Feng Quji are no strangers to it.

After Li Si and Feng Quji expressed their opinions, Ying Zheng took out a paper memorial from the table and handed it to Feng Quji.

"Look at this again, this is the countermeasure."

Feng Quji was no stranger to paper, but he just paused for a moment before unfolding the memorial and watching it with Li Si.

There are a series of measures related to disaster relief, food distribution, profit from fishing, dredging and dredging of rivers, and establishment of merit monuments.

It is more effective and efficient than the opinions they give.

After the two finished watching, their faces changed slightly.

Every measure hits the nail on the head, taking into account all feasibility and the possibility of early prevention.

"This……"

Feng Quji closed the memorial, looked at Yingzheng, hesitant to speak.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Go back to Your Majesty."

Feng Quji pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "The old minister thinks that building a stele of merit and virtue can encourage the people to participate in dredging the river, and even build embankments, which is really a good idea."

After a pause, he continued: "However, it is absurd to allow the common people to fish in restricted water systems. I am afraid that it will cause disaster."

The Qin Dynasty was dominated by the small-scale peasant economy. It was the right way for the common people to cultivate the land for production. Fishing for fish in rivers and lakes was almost like doing nothing in some places at that time.

Moreover, the Qin Dynasty had a special fishery administration, and there was no need for the people to go fishing at all.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.

This brief change of expression was caught by Zhao Gao who was at the side, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I don't know if I should say something or not."

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and cursed: "You old dog, you actually cheated in front of me?"

"Just say what you have to say!"

"promise."

Zhao Gao saluted respectfully and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the two prime ministers, this old slave thinks that allowing the people to fish is not as harmful as what Feng Youxiang said;

The short-term fishing will not only prevent accidents, but also demonstrate His Majesty's benevolence, encourage the people to be loyal to His Majesty, participate in river management, and bring extra income to the people. "

"As long as the officials govern properly, nothing serious will happen."

At this point, Ying Zheng nodded with a smile.

Feng Quji was startled, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Gao, this dog slave really knows how to read words and expressions!
Without even reading the memorial, you can find words to please His Majesty from a few words.

No wonder he made a heinous mistake and was able to be reused by His Majesty.

Although Zhao Gao's words are risky, it cannot be said that his words are worthless.

After pondering for a moment, Li Si said at the right time: "The old minister also thinks that what Zhao Fuling said is acceptable."

Ying Zheng smiled and said "Yes", then waved his hand to Zhao Gao: "Bring it up."

Soon, Zhao Gao left and returned.

Ying Zheng looked at the tofu nau and soy milk fritters on the palace waiter's tray, smiled, and waved to the two of them, "It's still early, let's have something to eat before continuing."

"May I ask Your Majesty, what is this?" Feng Quji picked up the tofu nao, looked it over carefully, and couldn't help but wonder.

Yingzheng put tofu nao in his mouth, and explained with a smile: "The new food in Pinyang City, I think it tastes good, so I eat it with Qing."

"I see……"

Feng Quji nodded suddenly, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect this little Pinyang to have so many novelties!"

"A few days ago, the old minister went to the Lion Tower. The food inside was unheard of by the old minister, but it was delicious."

"Ha ha."

Ying Zheng chuckled, then looked at Li Si: "Li Aiqing, why don't you eat?"

"Return to Your Majesty, before the minister came, he had eaten too much breakfast, but now his stomach is bloated, and he cannot enter again."

Li Si bowed his hands solemnly.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and immediately glanced at Zhao Gao, who immediately understood, and immediately removed the tray in front of Li Si's desk.

Just like that, Ying Zheng and Feng Quji ate without saying a word, while Li Si waited without squinting.

In fact, before coming to Yingzheng Study, Li Si had just learned that Zhao Kun had killed Li Yuan's family.

This shocked him.

In other words, even Li Yuan himself did not expect Zhao Kun to be so ruthless.

Although Zhao Kun is the prince, but he can gain a firm foothold in Pinyang, one is the support of the royal family, and the other is the love of the first emperor.

But even so, he is not qualified to kill the whole family.

What's more, this Pinyang Li family is related to him, how can he kill him at will?

The more Li Si thought about it, the more annoyed he felt, and finally couldn't help breaking the silence: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Ok?"

Just as Ying Zheng was about to eat fried dough sticks, he heard Li Si's words, so he put down his chopsticks, raised his hand and said, "It's okay to say I love you."

"Your Majesty, the old minister is deeply saddened to hear the news of the sudden death of the Li family in Pinyang, and I hope that His Majesty will severely punish the perpetrators."

"Ok?"

When Ying Zheng heard the words, the smile on his face suddenly subsided, and he asked solemnly, "Could it be the Li family that is a branch of your Li family?"

"Exactly."

Li Si looked miserable, and said with a choked voice: "The old minister and Li Zan, the patriarch of the Li family, share the same ancestor. They entered Qin Dynasty with the old minister when they were in Chu, and they did not expect to receive such bad news."

"Then do you know who did it?"

"This……"

Li Si hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Although the old minister doesn't know who did it, I heard from the steward that Young Master Kun once invited the Li family and his son to a banquet."

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes: "You mean, Zhao Kun sent someone to kill the Li family father and son?"

"The old minister dare not speak nonsense, and I hope His Majesty will see clearly!"

As Li Si said, with a "plop", he knelt down and cupped his hands.

Ying Zheng glared at him, looked straight at him, and said, "What does Ai Qing mean? If this matter is really related to Zhao Kun, I will punish him severely according to the law!"

As soon as the voice fell, he waved his hand immediately: "Come here, tell Meng Yi to come to see me."

"promise."

The palace servant outside the door promised to leave.

Soon, Meng Yi hurriedly stepped into the threshold of the study.

"Chen Mengyi worships..."

"Okay, I have something to say, I want to ask you, has the Li family in Pinyang been murdered by villains?"

"This……"

Meng Yi opened his mouth, glanced at Li Si subconsciously, and then bowed his hands to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Li family of Pinyang conspired to assassinate Young Master Kun, but was completely killed by his guards."

what?
The Li family conspired to assassinate Zhao Kun?

Why don't you know this?
Li Si hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is nonsense. My cousin abides by his duty and abides by the law. How could he do such a bold thing?"

"I think this is the slanderous words of the thief, I hope His Majesty will investigate clearly!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned, and looked up at Meng Yi: "Is there any evidence?"

"Have."

Meng Yi nodded, then took out a roll of confession paper from his cuff and handed it to Ying Zheng, saying: "This is given by the magistrate of Pinyang County to the minister. He said that the case involves the prince, so he dare not settle the case lightly."

"This...how is this possible..." Li Si raised his head with disbelief on his face.

With the paper confession, and now there is no proof, isn't this a foregone conclusion?

Thinking of this, Li Si hurriedly said: "I hope Your Majesty will find out clearly, my cousin is wronged!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng ignored it and raised his hand to take the paper for inspection.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you see it, you are furious, and immediately threw the confession paper on Li Si's face, and said angrily: "What a Li family! What a law-abiding person! How dare you do such a nasty thing under my nose , such evil deeds, I will be regarded as the barbarians!"

After the words fell, everyone was stunned.

The Yi and Li families?
Doesn't this mean that Li Si will also be implicated?

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Li Si in unison.

Li Si was frightened out of his wits, and quickly picked up the confession paper to check. Looking at the confession on it, his face turned pale.

Why is Li Zan so stupid?

Isn't it just asking you to find a few local families to fraudulently donate?
How come there is not enough success and more than failure?
Now black and white, really hurt me too!

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know about this matter. Li Zan and his son are so bold that they dared to do such pigs and dogs. They really deserve their crimes. I hope Your Majesty will punish them severely."

Zhao Gao: "..."

Feng Quji: "..."

Meng Yi: "..."

The three looked at each other and looked at each other.

I thought that Li Si turned his face so fast!

Just now, His Majesty was asked to avenge his grievances, but now he immediately changed his words and asked His Majesty to punish him severely.

There are no such relatives of the same clan at the stall.

It can be seen from this that Li Si's selfishness is engraved in his bones.

But Ying Zheng snorted coldly, ignored Li Si, turned to Meng Yi and said, "Go and assist the Pinyang County Magistrate in investigating this matter, and anyone who has anything to do with it will be severely punished."

"promise."

Meng Yi bowed his hands, then turned and exited the study.

Feng Quji glanced at Li Si, sighed secretly, and immediately bowed his hands to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, Li Zuo is loyal to His Majesty, and will never participate in such nasty things. I hope His Majesty will forgive you."

"That's right, Your Majesty, Li Zuoxiang didn't know about it, so he spoke out to avenge the thieves, and I hope His Majesty will learn from you." Zhao Gao also echoed.

Hearing this, Yingzheng's expression softened a little, and he looked down at Li Si with his hands behind his back and said, "Before I asked you to come to discuss the matter, I went over the memorial several times. You don't know the details, but you slander my son, and you are suspected of false accusations!"

"The minister... the minister is guilty."

Li Si kowtowed in fear, not daring to look at Ying Zheng.

"I will reward you for your merits, and punish you for your mistakes. Since you are guilty, you should be punished according to the law. But I think you have worked hard in the past, so this time I will spare you the crime."

Ying Zheng said coldly, and then changed the subject: "However, capital punishment is inevitable, but living punishment is inevitable. I will punish you with a year's salary, a month of leisure, and contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors."

"Chen... Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

Li Si kowtowed again.

Feng Quji and Zhao Gao looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Okay, the memorial has merits, so you can follow suit."

"According to the order."

The two left with different expressions on their faces, carrying deep worry and fear.

Young Master Kun is so ruthless and decisive, and is favored by His Majesty, what should we do if we investigate the whole story carefully?

How old is he!How can you have such courage?

In order to achieve the goal, if you say kill the whole family, kill the whole family!

Shocked in their hearts, the two walked away.

…………

Ying Zheng stood at the door of the study, looking at the backs of the two, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Although he knew about the Li family's premeditated assassination, he never expected Zhao Kun to be so vicious and decisive.

If one is an emperor, without this fierce and decisive, it is difficult to become a great weapon.

Fusu, Fusu, if you have the courage of your nineteenth brother, I don't have to worry about you.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Ying Zheng suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Zhao Gao: "What is that kid Hu Hai up to lately?"

"This……"

Zhao Gao bowed his body, and said hesitantly: "This old servant dare not speak."

"Ok?"

Ying Zheng frowned and glanced at him indifferently.

Zhao Kun quickly prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Return to Your Majesty, Young Master Hu Hai locked himself in his room to study "Qin Law". He has not eaten for two days."

"Bullshit!"

Yingzheng raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily: "How can I be so stupid, I don't care about my body, and do all kinds of mischief."

"Your Majesty, the young master said that His Majesty's illness has just recovered, but he works hard every day and fears that his illness will relapse, so he wants to learn more and share his worries."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's stern expression gradually eased, replaced by an inexplicable emotion.

After a long time, he shook his head and sighed: "This kid, hey, idiot, idiot."

"Your Majesty, the son is also filial..."

Hearing Ying Zheng's sigh, Zhao Gao's eyes flashed with joy, and he cautiously agreed.

Ying Zheng looked at him, then looked at the sky outside, thought for a while, and said, "Go arrange some food in the imperial dining room, and come with me to see that kid later."

"promise."

Zhao Gao made a promise, seemed to think of something again, and asked: "Master Gongsun, does this old slave need to tell her?"

Mentioning Gongsun Yu, Ying Zheng's face changed into a touch of tenderness, and he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's have dinner at the Hu Hai side hall today, and invite Yu'er along."

"Old slave obeys the order, let's make arrangements now."

Zhao Gao bowed his body to salute, and the moment he turned around, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said that no one knew the first emperor better than himself.

Although the first emperor was famous, he was also a human being, and as a human being, he had seven emotions and six desires.

As long as you master the seven emotions and six desires of the First Emperor, what else is impossible in this world?

Even if Young Master Kun pleases His Majesty more than himself, does he know His Majesty himself?

After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Gao walked out of the study with a smile on his face.
